John Leach

John Leach is part of a ceramics dynasty founded by his grandfather Bernard Leach. Today, John runs Muchelney Pottery from the heart of the Somerset Levels as he has been doing for the past 50 years. He uses local clays and a traditional wood fired kiln reaching temperatures of 1350 degrees C, which is what gives his work the irresistibly tactile toasted finish we adore. Alone his work has a rustic appeal but it mixes beautifully with more contemporary ceramic and glassware.
